Pic(k) of the week 6: The desert is loosing from the city - Dubai
Over the years, I photographed the ever changing Dubai skyline from a lot of different angles.
Early January, we had one of the few "rain-days" in Dubai and believe it or not but that is big thing! Schools remain closed, the mayhem on the streets is even bigger than normal, life pretty much comes to a stop...
One of the advantages is that the next day is often a crystal clear day with unlimited visibilities. Perfect to go to the edge of the desert and photograph the Dubai skyline from a different perspective.
The image below of "The Villa" housing compound, consists of 9 images shot in portrait mode, stitched together as a large panorama. At almost 12000pixels wide the amount of detail is pretty amazing. Be sure to click on the image on a large screen to fly enjoy it.
It remains remarkable how over the last 15 years, the Dubai desert is slowly loosing from the city. Something I hope to express in the above image.
